Re: [Nagios-db-devel] Retain State

[Ben <be...@si...>]

Well, a couple things. 

First, nagios-db does retain the last state. (In fact, there's really no
way not to retain state.) However, it doesn't use it for hosts and doesn't
trust it for services. This was intentional. If nagios has to restart,
there's no way to know what happened when it was down.

Second, there is a big difference between pending and unknown, at least 
when it comes to services.

So.... unlike the nagios CGIs, the nagios-db UI does the most accurate
thing it can: it a service had been up before restart, nagios-db marks the
host as "up and pending". It still sort counts as up, but it's untrusted,
because nagios may well have missed it going down.

If this doesn't work for you, why not?
